Place	Church Street (New Haven, Conn.) George Street (New Haven, Conn.) Meadow Street (New Haven, Conn.)
Topic	Urban renewal Building sites Bank buildings Commercial buildings
Theme	Infrastructure
Description	Apparent rooftop view looking south showing an area of the Church Street redevelopment project, New Haven. View is looking south down Church Street. To the left is the new First New Haven National Bank building at the corner of George Street. Partially visible behind the bank building is the Downtown Shopping Triangle building. To the right, across Meadow Street, is a building that appears to be the Greyhound bus terminal. On the west side of Church Street, construction work is under way on the new Malley's department store building. Cranes and other construction equipment and workers can be seen. A two-story structure apparently association with the project has a sign reading in part: "CONSTRUCTION BY/Gilbane". The Oak Street Connector and Church Street bridge can be seen in the background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Dated July 1961. One of a collection of photographs taken by the New Haven Redevelopment Agency to document a massive urban planning and development project undertaken from 1956 through the mid-1970s. The federally-financed redevelopment initiative was realized through a series of projects focused on particular New Haven city neighborhoods identified by street or area names. These projects involved the demolition of old structures and construction of new buildings, roadways and other facilities. Much of the area involved in the Church Street project had been characterized by a mix of small stores, restaurants, theaters and residences. In the course of redevelopment, whole blocks were demolished to make way for larger modern structures such as department stores, hotels, office buildings, a mall and the New Haven Coliseum. As part of this project, Malley's department store was relocated from its old quarters at Chapel and Temple Streets to a new building that occupied the block between Church and Temple Streets south of George Street. The Oak Street (Route 34) Connector is also known as the Richard C. Lee Connector. Lee was mayor of New Haven during the redevelopment period, and a driving force behind the effort. The Downtown Shopping Triangle was near the junction of Congress and Meadow Streets, which are shown in a 1950 city directory map as intersecting with George and Church Streets. The Downtown Shopping Triangle appears to have occuped a triangular lot between Meadow and George Streets.
